Very good at reducing recoil and a good value - Fortis Manufacturing 5.56MM R.E.D. Barrel Muzzle Brake

I bought this for my first AR15 build and have limited experience with the platform. In my particular build, I have an 18 inch barrel, rifle length gas system, with a Vltor A5 buffer system. The recoil from this build is only slightly more than a 22 magnum bolt action. Barrel rise is minimal and there's no flash in the field of view. It's loud, but that is to be expected with a brake. Be sure to wear hearing protection ANY time you are using this device. My 95 pound teenage daughter has no trouble handling the rifle with this brake.
